Question

how was king louis xvi one of the central causes of the french revolution? he accumulated reserves of money that others needed. he made protestantism the state religion. he ruled with absolute authority. he wanted to abolish the class system in france.

Explanation:

• King Louis XVI ruled with absolute authority. This led to financial mismanagement (he didn't accumulate reserves for others - he spent lavishly), France was Catholic (not Protestant as state religion), and he didn't want to abolish the class system (which was a source of discontent as the Third Estate suffered). Absolute rule meant lack of representation and accountability, contributing to the French Revolution.

Answer:

He ruled with absolute authority.
